Of course I showed Ranger Buddy THE EMAIL from the reader. He read through it (thought it was mighty long, by the way), then said, "Is it rude to point out that she failed to see the subtext of your blog?"
He made me smile ;-).
Then, I asked him whether he was worried about this person actually finding out his professor's name and then calling the college up to report him. RB's answer?
"Actually, by this time next week, I might be dead from having been gored by a bull. So no, that's not quite my top worry right now."
Sigh. Because he knew I would start lecturing him about getting killed, he told me a joke:
A man went to Spain and at the restaurant, watched the next table being served these big round things on a plate. He asked the waiter what those were.
"Oh, those are bull's balls. We serve them after a bullfight."
"I want an order of those," said the man.
"Well, we only had one fight a day, so you'll have to come back tomorrow, sir. I'll keep the special for you, okay?"
The man came back the next evening and asked for the special. The plate arrived. The waiter uncovered it and there were two small lumps on it.
"Hey, those aren't bulls balls!" exclaimed the man.
The waiter shrugged. "Sometimes, the bull wins."
AHAHAHAHAHA. Countdown to Pamplona, Spain: RB leaves for PORTUGAL tomorrow. Do I have to start a prayer circle????!
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

Bwahahaha!! Great joke!! I love ball jokes!!!
I'm already braced for the news reports out of Pamplona. That's okay. I figure if RB can get through a firefight, he'll know when to get out of the way and into a doorway to avoid a bull. Good luck, RB!! Have fun! Make sure your wife takes lots of photos. Before and after ones too. :)
HAHAh I liked that. I think you should start a prayer cicle for him... I really don't understand the tradition of running with the bulls but oki.
Is he really going to go through that? I'm praying for him everyday. Do I have to like burn candles and stuff? Maybe a little good voodoo?
Funny joke. But, yeah, sending good vibes out for RB's bull-run.
But did the reader answer your email response?
Yes, he's really going to do it, Lady Zannah. RB is one of those people that say he wants to do something and actually goes do it ;-). I just came home from work, told him to have a good time, and he said he'd actually try to figure out how to use an international phone to tell me he survived the run.
Sigh.
I hope he lives to tell this latest adventure.
Anonymous,
No, the reader who hates me now never replied my response. I have a feeling she has already made her judgment and isn't going to change her mind.
Good luck, RB! Praying for your safe return!
I agree with Monique: he's a guy with survival smarts.
Except for the whole idea of doing this in the first place.
But you gotta love 'em when they don't make you bang your head on a wall.
(Seriously, I'll be checking back to make sure he's okay.)
